The Ban on "Changing Your Life"

I was watching a youtube video a few minutes ago filmed in I don't know what country, I guess South Africa, and some rich guy donated a nice sum of money to a couple of homeless people to change their lives. He first asked the lady how much she would need to change her life and then after he met her husband tripled the sum.

He didn't just gave them money for food or encouraged them in some way to keep on living the same life, but instead encouraged them to use the money to change their lives, to invest it in something and get out of poverty and the homeless status. It's like in that anecdote saying it's better advised to teach someone how to fish rather than give the person a fish.

This case reminded me of Nigeria and their situation with government basically threatening banks of sever consequences for offering their banking services to people involved in crypto. That's sad, it's really really sad, especially knowing that people over there don't really have a good economy and personal finances. It's like somehow the government is banning their right to change their lives.

I know quite a few fellow Nigerians in here, and most of them are great content creators, they're in crypto for a few years now, involved in all sort of projects and knowing that their shitty governors want to ban them the access to a life changing opportunity that crypto represents right now is really really sad. I also ask myself the question: why does this happen so often to poor people?

India is also causing stress to its citizens threatening to ban privacy coins. These bans remind me of my nation's communist situation a few decades ago when the country's leader back then, Nicolae Ceausescu, was forcing people from leaving the country out of the fear of losing workforce and deprived them from the access to a better wealth. It's not like the whole work force in Romania would have dried up if he'd opened the borders.

Nicolae Ceausescu could have learned from Tito the best strategy for the matter, the Serbian communist leader, who hasn't held Yugoslavians captive between the borders and let them wander the world and have access to better income streams. Serbians worked in better developed countries such as Germany, when we weren't allowed to leave the country, and came back with good money pumping it in the economy.

We the Balkans are quite attached to our birth places and no matter where we get in the world, quite often return home and inject money in our economies, and back in the 80's and 90's Serbians profited massively from the freedom of traveling they had and brought some good amount of money with them once they returned home. Where do you think all that money went to?

In their national economy of course, as people have invested more in their homes, small business and so on. The growth of a economy, and health of it, depends a lot on the wealth of its people imo, and one pure example for that saying is Norway. I lived for almost a year there and that's not just a rich country. China is rich but...

Norway is a wealthy country because the majority of the inhabitants are having more than decent lives and the government seems to be working for them and not against them. Countries like Nigeria, and India as well, prove to be lead by weak leaders. Men that are afraid of losing control over their people by allowing them access to a better wealth.

Cryptocurrencies are life changing and you probably know by now how excited I'm about that perspective. Let me tell you one thing, if Romania decides to ban crypto or make our lives hard, the ones involved in crypto, through all sort of absurd enforcements, I'm out. No country should forbid its citizens the right for a better source of income and wealth.

Most of the Nigerians and Indians that are making money out of crypto are probably gonna spend that money inside the borders of the country and their economy would only benefit from people's involvement in crypto. Taxation? I get that... Banning? No...

Such bans as the above mentioned and the obvious draconian attitude of such governments towards their citizens attempts for a better life represent to me the ban on changing your life . These people are basically banning their own conational the right and access to better finances. Period. Don't know how people protest around there, but you should be vocal about this threat.

It's clear though that such bans and also all the abuses committed all over the world in the name of protecting ourselves from a damn virus, while killing economies on the way, are nothing but desperate measures of a political class and banking systems afraid of losing control. It's all about control and slavery at this point. That's when we realize that decentralized blockchain technology and mass adoption of crypto are actually vital and not just a quick buck scheme to be used.

I hope things will work out well for our fellow hivers in India and Nigeria and I'm eager more than ever to see crypto getting more mainstream and more in the hands of people than all these funds accumulating it. I guess what we need so bad in this equation is the ability to spend crypto to all sort of merchants right now and not some Bitcoin ETF or anything of this sort.

Thanks for attention, Adrian
